Article PDF File: Page From: 73 To: 81
Article abstract: Lung cancer is the most common cancer worldwide with over 2.09 million global cases in 2018. In the United States only, lung cancer led to over 142,000 deaths in 2019. When diagnosed at early stages, surgical resection may help lung cancer get optimal oncologic outcomes.
Generally, surgeons are facing patients with decreased cardiorespiratory reserve and increased postoperative risk of cardiovascular complications when evaluate lung resection candidates.
So, cardiorespiratory assessment is a main factor to weigh perioperative risks versus potential benefits of surgery in order to plan optimal perioperative care.
The current article describes the ways to limit and control the challenge in terms of preoperative assessment of lung resection cases by evaluating lung mechanics, parenchymal function and cardiorespiratory reserve.
